REVIEWS :

The awesome force of Scorn (aka former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris) is unleashed in long form on his first album for a few years. As his legions of devoted fans will know, Scorn has been doing this thing for a long time now, pre-dating dubstep by a good decade, and belligerently forcing his beats into ever sludgier and darker patterns over time. We start here with 'Bear Felt Nowt', a lurching behemoth intent on giving your speakers an uncomfortable prolapse by means of slow-motion tear-out bass. Next, with 'Hands' he slips into Sly Dunbar mode with a killer dub drum break forcing the bass to cower under his cavernous, slow momentum percussion. Meanwhile with 'Take Someone's Eye Out' he swings it like the hardest man in the village backed up with an army of industrial halfstep beats and leering cold metal synth slashes. When he cleans up the noisy clutter a little, like on 'LT94', he's at his very best, offering the clearest view into his abyss of dreadcore bass and bringing the drums so close they're about to prod you in. Finally 'Sh*twind's A-coming' finds an unhappy medium between noise, drums and bass, with loud and crisp live drums convulsing amidst a river of brownest bass slurry and tauted by ethereal apparitions. For Braveheart muthas only - Recommended.
